WORKSHOP OF ORAZIO FONTANA. Oval basin or dish with subject from Amadis of Gaul

Oval basin or dish with subject from Amadis of Gaul. Artist: Workshop of Orazio Fontana (Italian, Urbino, ca. 1510-1576). Culture: Italian, Urbino or possibly Turin. Dimensions: Overall (confirmed): 2 1/2 × 26 1/4 × 20 7/8 in. (6.4 × 66.7 × 53 cm). Date: ca. 1559-64.
This basin is decorated with scenes from the chivalric tale of Amadis, who endured a number of trials in order to win his beloved princess, Oriana. Large serving dishes of this type would have been used communally, placed on the table within reach of several diners. In this case, the number and placement of the scenes suggest that it was intended to serve four, each with an image oriented in his or her direction.
